I love this sound bar

I had already had a 2.1 Samsung soundbar for my Samsung 60" plasma, and that worked fine, but I have always wanted a 5.1 surround system that wasn't too expensive and would have wires everywhere. This 5.1 surround soundbar fits that need and then some. First of all the sound is fantastic. The rear surround speakers are just as good as any expensive speakers Ive heard on bigger audio receivers. Wires are attached to the subwoofer which I keep at my recliners side under a glass table. The wires to the rear speakers are then behind the chair and out of the way. The soundbar is up front with the TV, so no wires on the floor between your chair and the TV. I have no static, no low buzzing, only great sound from the soundbar, the subwoofer is much better than the one I had on my Samsung 2.1, and the rear speakers make all the difference. Now I'm hearing my Blu-ray discs the way they were intended. Also, I got this during 2016 Black Friday sale for 149.00 . Vizio also had it for the same price for a lot longer than Walmart did, even free shipping. But I chose Walmart in case I had to return it for any reason, Walmart has great return policies. I would have had to make arrangements to ship it back to Vizio if I had purchased it from them. But so far, this set has performed flawlessly, setup was nothing to it. I love it.

Vizio

My first delivery the box was torn from the Walmart warehouse. To it back and got a gift card for the amount and ordered a new one. Everything came with this time and it works great.

Great product for the price. Im not going to lie, i was definitely leary of it because it was so cheap, Buuuuttt we've had it for a year now with no problems. Has great sound and i love that i dont have wires all over my livingroom. It looks great too. Very compact, doesnt take up much space under the tv.

Don't say I didn't warn you...

Soundbar package arrived and setup very easily and sounded really good for the price point. Unfortunately it died in a week and would not power on. Looks like it's a common problem once I started looking online for a solution. And then it begins.. Vizio Customer support offered to send out another unit. They stated clearly they were sending a model year newer (since they did not have this one) but instead upon arrival I received an unsealed taped up box with a 2014 model. Looks like an old refurb. Fair warning - buyer be ware you will be fine as long as you don't ever have any issues and by the looks of things and the availability of refurbs online its not odds i would be ok with.... Returning for a refund and going with the Samsung

Awesome sound...

I initially purchased this sound bar for my livingroom. Shortly after, I realized I would also need to purchase separate stands for the rear speakers. So, I decided to use it in my bedroom instead and put the rear speakers on my night stands. Problem solved...lol. The sound bar was easy to hook up to my tv, cell phone, and cable box. I like the screen on the remote but, it's useless at night because there's no back light. So you have to rely on the LEDs on the soundbar itself as you press buttons in the dark or turn on some lights. Not sure why Vizio didn't include a light up screen as an option. The subwoofer gives off a lot of bass and may need to be adjusted sometimes depending on what you're listening to. I love the auto input changes on this bar. If I switch from live tv to HDMI for streaming on Chromecast or gaming, the bar will automatically pick up the signal and switch inputs. No need to do it manually like with my other 2.1 Vizio Bar. One thing to note is you have to hook up each device separately using the connections provided in the box. For example; if you have a cable box connected to your tv, you have to connect the sound bar to your cable box in order to hear the audio. You will not get any sound from the bar if you connect it to the tv only when watching cable. Same applies for gaming systems/dvd players/etc. If you are using direct cable wire connection, a Chromecast or similar HDMI devices, then you would need a connection to the tv in order to hear the audio. I've had the soundbar for 8+ months now and haven't had any issues with it. I practically use it everyday instead of listening through the tv speakers. I definitely recommend.

Died after a year

Worked ok for a little over a year then just died. No power. No lights. Nothing. Contacted customer service and went through a few troubleshooting procedures but nothing worked. Not the best quality sound to start with and obviously has durability issues. I would recommend staying away from this item.

SOUNDS QUALITY IS AMAZING

i love the way it sounds in my house now with the surround sound. TV shows, movies, music sounds so much better. EASY SET UP i even like the Bluetooth option because i can control everything off my phone if i wanted, play music off my phone etc. the only small down fall is , i wish it was completely wireless. you have to plug the sounds bar into the tv and the wall, and the surround sound box and two side speakers all plug into one another. it would be better if there was a Bluetooth chip for all speakers so no wires had to be showing, but besides that i just mounted the speakers to the wall and ran the wires behind the wall to the outlet to hide them. OVERALL i still love my purchase.
